40 Days to Awaken Your Sober Mindಮಾದರಿ

Overwhelm sneaks in when we try to solve everything at once. But Sis, freedom doesn’t require a 5-year plan. It just asks for the next right step.

God’s Word promises to shed light on your path, walking step by step, not mile by mile. Sometimes it feels more like a flashlight in the darkness. As author Stormie Omartian says, observe and listen for what the voice of the Lord is and what he might be showing you. We live in a loud world full of many voices and noise.

Isaiah reminds us that God’s voice will guide us, and having a present, sober mind allows us to hear it. The Holy Spirit usually starts as a gentle whisper that we can hear in our hearts, rather than screaming loudly in a megaphone to get our attention. Although I know sometimes we’d like a neon sign saying “Go this way!”, a gentle nudge is most likely the way.

Maybe your next step is journaling. Get curious, observe, and listen for what the voice of the Lord is, and what he might be showing you. Perhaps your next step is skipping the drink tonight. Maybe it’s joining the Sober Sis Community. Big change always begins with a small step.

You don’t need to see the whole staircase. You just need to take one step today.

Prayer:
Jesus, I don’t need to know the whole path. Just show me the next step, and give me courage to take it. Thank You for going ahead of me and making a way where there seems no way.

Journal Prompt:
What is your very next step toward living more sober-minded? Write down three specific ways (thinking, feeling, or acting) that you can move forward with more intention.
